Lindsey Graham Declares War on NY Over 'Chick-Fil-A Bill'

The state of New York has decided, for reasons, that the best way to serve its constituents is to force Chick-Fil-A to be open on Sundays. It makes no sense, but here we are.

No, really. Twitchy wrote about this the other day. Under a proposed bill, the Empire State would make Chick-Fil-A, and other restaurants at 'thruway rest stops' be open seven days a week.

Chick-Fil-A has, notably, been closed on Sundays due to the religious beliefs of its owners.

Why does New York think this is within their power to legislate? If they can tell a business when to close (thanks COVID lockdowns!), and open, what can't they tell a business to do (or not do)?

It's outrageous, but not unexpected. The Left has hated Chick-Fil-A for years.

But now Senator Lindsey Graham has decided New York has crossed a line.

War.

He continues:

The bill, ostensibly, wouldn't impact the Manhattan location, just those at 'thruway rest stops'. For now. But gross overreach is what government does best.

The tweet continues:

The founders of Chick-fil-A made a decision early on to close on Sunday, consistent with their faith. For any government to try to reverse this decision flies in the face of who we are as Americans. Chick-fil-A is a great company with thousands of locations serving the public with a quality product and taking care of their employees. New York is off base and their actions will not go unanswered.

There is no reason to force any restaurant to be open seven days a week.

This writer has taken multiple long-distance road trips with her kids -- three boys, two of them teenagers. We've been in the Middle of Nowhere, South Dakota, and we still found food.

People won't starve if Chick-fil-A isn't open on Sundays in New York.

We promise you.

They probably would. Don't compromise on principles. Ever.

The other thing, if you read our previous post on the issue, is Chick-Fil-A has a 33-year agreement with the thruway. So the state is trying to change the terms of this agreement.

And that should be their choice.

If they lose money, what does it matter to anyone else?

It's clearly directly at Chick-Fil-A, which is open about its being closed on Sundays. You could make the case this is a violation of their First Amendment rights.

This is a fair proposal, because Chick-Fil-A won't enter into those new agreements, as is their choice. But when has government done anything reasonable?

Yeah, it kind of did.

Others were pointing out the priorities seem out of whack:

There are bigger fish to fry, that's for sure.

We laughed at this.

Graham obviously does.

But there is an injustice in changing the terms of their agreement, and specifically doing something to target Chick-Fil-A's business practices. Especially after all the hatred the Left has thrown towards the restaurant over the years. 

We have to question the motives of this, because it stinks to high heaven. And that's not fair.
